about

I wrote this one in the book fare of the Logos Hope in the middle of the night. I was, at that instant, struggling with the unsettledness of ship life, seeking God's peace.

lyrics

He sits with me beneath the tree
I am a wandering sparrow
My pride flew too high, too close to the sun
Like Icarus I felt the burn

He is the storm rushing through the fields
I am a withering Lilly
My fear grows deep as He draws near to me
But I find His rain gives me life
I find His rain gives me life

He wept beneath the tree
He ran through the fields
I'll spend this lifetime learning why
My maker had cried(died) for me

He is the moon steering all the tides
I am like drifting wood
My whole life's full of ever-changing waves
But it's His current that brings me home
It's His current that brings me home
